I shared these same photographs on my Substack, and while they got a lot of attention, I earned nothing for my efforts - not a penny, not a single sat.

Since joining #nostr a couple of months ago, I’ve earned more here from sharing my art and random life musings than on any legacy media app.

It’s been a great experience so far. I’m learning a lot, building connections, and feeling supported by this community. Big thanks to everyone who’s helped along the way.

Woops, duplicate text sorry

Dope shots!

Ayyy thank you very much fam 🤘🏼

Have a few shots from abandoned places I shot. Need to process them and share. Images of decaying individual era.

Oooo yeah let’s see them!

Yeah. Will let you know. Need time to process the raw outputs.

What do you use to process? It would be fun to share the raw files and we can compare edits? I’ve been wanting to creat a little community for doing that on nostr:npub1v02emwxjn2lznkmnszltjy4c7cqzxuejkmye0zeqs62wf0shpahswdmwuj

I will proly disappoint you but I ment digital..I'd love the analog way..not there yet.

My photos are digital too 🙂‍↔️

So I use gigapixel..into lightroom and sometimes photoshop. I also experiment with ai upscaler by Magnific - that can be wild!

Nice! I use Lightroom as well, but also a program called dehancer. I really like it. I’ve got a few videos on my YouTube channel where I show how some features work to give you a more analogue feel https://youtu.be/wXqhpAeXQdM?si=qcOFwp2N0HJLfK-n

And if you want, use “PictureRoom” for 10% off https://www.dehancer.com/shop/pslr/film

Thx! Will check it for sure!

Silent Hill?

Haha something like that. This was around the neighborhood I am staying in

⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡❤️❤️❤️❤️

Heck yeah. Awesome shots! Welcome to Nostr. Followed 🫡

Thank you my frien! 🤘🏼

I know a few people who would find value in understanding this message.

Same here. Truth will always make its way though

🤘🏼

MOAR PECAN BUTTER!!!

Soon!!! I’ve got a lot more jars here in Jersey that I’ll bring back with me to sc!

It was well received in Florida.

Oooo tell me more? From your pals that tried it?

Ya it was a hit at thanksgiving, we had it with dessert. It was a huge success and eve my picky little boy ejoyed it on some toast. I have a jar left that I'm going to smash this weeked.

Love that, thank you!! Spoon full straight to mouth is the way. Or, on dates!

I want to try some on meat like you recommended.

Ahh yes that too, with eggs in the morning and honey. Fire

These are beautiful pictures

Ayyy thank you very much Alejandro 🤘🏼

Its well deserved. Keep up the great work man!

Brother! Thank you! Some of these would be sick album art I think btw 🤘🏼

I have the same good feeling about this place as you, except that you are a painter and your work is very beautiful.🧡

I’m a photographer but I paint with light! 🤘🏼

It's so awesome and beautiful. Thanks 🧡

Love how #nostr is working out for you Colin! The thing with Substack though is that it’s like investing long-term, the gains come later. Assuming you got some new subscribers from all those likes, over time one or more of them might become a paid subscriber, you never know. At the very least you have their email address and can reach them directly when necessary. Whereas Nostr’s benefits are more immediate and just a different kind of community altogether. Fascinating times though, we’re considering hibernating our Instagram indefinitely.

-Tom

Oh, I totally agree. Substack is great, and I love the platform for sharing ideas and connecting with an audience. But having a system like Nostr, where you can directly give and receive value, would be a game changer for artists.

Likes and reshares are nice, sure, but the ability to transact immediate value - real, tangible support - elevates the relationship between creators and their audience. Substack needs to get with it because this kind of functionality is the future.

Framing on point

🧡💜🫡
